Great roadblock’

Kudos to the driver of the PCK Subaru on the Diego Martin Highway, who on the morning of January 22, by driving a foot to the left, effectively frustrated the driver of a vehicle who was hell bent on using the shoulder as his own personal freeway.

While 99.9 per cent of the drivers sit patiently in bumper-to-bumper-to bumper traffic each morning, there are always the few idiots who refuse to wait.

Where are the much-touted Highway Patrol and traffic wardens? When is something going to be done about the illegal use of the shoulder? When a fatal accident happens?

There have been many suggestions put forward to curb this dangerous practice but they seem to have fallen on deaf ears.
